If in the past most tourists knew about Chau Doc because of Ba Chua Xu Temple, a sacred pilgrimage site, today, Chau Doc is also known for many other wonderful things. From the center of Chau Doc city, up the Hau river, visitors will see Chau Doc floating fish village - one of the very special Chau Doc tourist destinations. Located west of Chau Doc city center about 3km along the river in the direction of the Mekong Delta watershed, An Phu district. Floating houses and fish rafts nestled close together form a "village", stretching several kilometers. If you go towards Chau Phu district, the floating villages seem more crowded and last longer. The most crowded are the floating houses gathered in the river section of Tan Chau district, the village stretches nearly 10km. The floating raft village on Chau Doc River is a freshwater fish raft village established in the 60s of the last century. At first, there were only a few floating rafts raising fish in a natural way, no need for feeding because of the good water source. However, from the 70s onwards, due to high economic benefits, the number of fish rafts increased significantly and gradually became a key economic point of An Giang. The highlight is that from 1990 to 2005, the areas of Chau Phu, Phu Tan, Cho Moi, and Vinh Nguon had over 2,000 fish cages with an average annual harvest of over 20,000 tons/year. Most of the fish raised in floating rafts in these regions are catfish varieties such as pangasius and basa fish, mainly for export to Western European and North American markets. In recent years, due to climate change, the Mekong River has dried up. In addition, the water source is increasingly polluted, leading to loss of income from fish raised in raft houses, and some households are left empty-handed and bankrupt. That's why the number of fish cages is decreasing day by day. Now, when basa and pangasius fish are no longer popular in the market, people have switched to raising all kinds of fish for meat such as: catfish, tilapia, silver carp, grouper, plaice... Thanks to the prices of The variety of meat fish is increasing, so raft fish farmers in Chau Doc are making a living, bringing high economic efficiency to help many families have a well-off life. Because it is a tourist destination on the river, travel must be by train or boat. Therefore, if you want to go to the floating raft village on Chau Doc river, you must go to Chau Doc junction (about 500m from Victoria hotel) or at Chau Giang wharf located on the other side of Chau Doc town to rent a boat. Boat rental prices at each location will vary depending on where your trip goes and how many people are traveling. However, one thing that you can rest assured about is that the price is relatively cheap and reasonable. Besides renting a boat at the marina, if you want to be quick and not worry about price gouging. You can ask the receptionist at the hotel to rent it for you or buy a package tour of An Giang to make your trip comfortable without worrying about anything. Coming here, you will be immersed in the space of floating houses swaying along the upstream of the Mekong Delta and the two branches of the Tien and Hau rivers. The architecture of the "houses" in the floating village is also very unique. The wooden houses are lightly painted, have simili-patterned ceilings with full amenities, have a 5m deep bottom made of star wood, and are surrounded by stainless steel mesh to raise basa fish and some other types of fish. The main means of transportation for people is by boat. You will be introduced to the process of raising fish on the river by the people, told stories of ups and downs and the reasons why they have stuck with this profession until now. Experience feeding the fish yourself, the bait is dropped into the raft, a whole school of fish rushes up to compete for food, looking so excited, thousands of same-sized, healthy basa fish splash around in the water, competing for food. The floor was soaked all over. In addition to practical experiences and learning about fish farming by floating rafts on the river. Here you can also immerse yourself in the cultural life of the river region that has been famous for many generations. A life not only about eating, transporting and staying on the river but also a place to live with many things related to residential life and survival. This is what makes the people of the Southwest region unique. Sit on the raft, watch the floating water hyacinth clusters, feel the cool breeze blowing in from the river to dispel the stress and fatigue of daily life. The scene on the river is calmer and more poetic when it is just dark. At this time, trading activities in the villages are no longer bustling, families gather together after a day of hard work. The floating raft village on the Bassac River begins to light up. The light from the rafts reflects into the water, looking like a city at night floating on the river, the scene is truly sparkling and magical. If you come to Chau Doc and don't once visit the floating village, it would be a mistake. You can combine visiting the Floating Market, Chau Phong Cham village and Chau Giang Cham village nearby. The two Cham Muslim villages are famous in An Giang for possessing many special harmonious cultural features. Here, you will learn about the life and customs of the Cham Muslim people.

Steel wire column relic in Long Thuan hamlet, Long Dien A commune, Cho Moi district, An Giang province. The steel wire pole was built by the French colonialists at the end of the 19th century, as a communication system connecting the two communes of Long Dien and Tan My, located next to a branch of the Tien River. The column body is made from 4 steel pillars, linked together to form a tower with a square top, with a total height of more than 30m, very solid. Each (L) shaped steel leg is irregularly connected, about 1.5m apart. The column has a surrounding stone pedestal, located in the middle of the main gate to the relic site. The relic area has an area of about 3,000 square meters. In addition to the large campus for celebrating anniversaries or events, inside there is also a traditional house, preserving objects and images of local leaders and people. On February 3, 1930, the Communist Party of Vietnam was born on the basis of unifying three Party organizations in our country, under the chairmanship of comrade Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh). The Party was born as a halo illuminating the path for the Vietnamese revolution, campaigning to attract the masses to become enlightened and follow the Party's revolutionary path. In An Giang, the province has chosen Cho Moi as an organizational development point. From here, the first Party cell was also established in Long Dien commune in April 1930. Initially there were 3 comrades: Luu Kim Phong, Bui Trung Pham and Doan Thanh Thuy. In order to strongly develop the grassroots, the comrades have gone deeply into mobilizing the masses and craftsmen. To bypass the henchmen and colonialists and take advantage of the football movement at My Long Stadium (Long Dien commune), the comrades secretly passed it on to each other to widely propagate the Communist Party. Congratulations on the formation of the first Party cell of An Giang province, a Party flag was hung on top of a steel wire pole, but was soon taken down by the French colonialists. A few days later, the second Party flag was hung up in the dead of night. The next morning, the red flag "hammer and sickle" fluttered like "Aura on the Tien River", making the enemy angry and afraid, and the people extremely excited. From here, the Steel Wire Pole is the location where our Party gathered the masses to protest twice. Many Party cells were also established and led the people to fight for many victories. The relic site still preserves a number of traditional household objects. With milestones in the movement for independence, the Steel Wire Pole became a typical revolutionary historical site and was decided to recognize by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a historical-cultural relic. national level on January 9, 1990.

At the same time, it affirms the human values, righteousness and noble international obligations of the Vietnamese Volunteer Army for the cause of liberating Cambodia from the genocidal regime and rebuilding the country. On the night of April 30, 1977, at the same time as 14 border communes of An Giang province, Pol Pot sent troops to attack and brutally massacre our compatriots. The pinnacle of this crime was the massacre of 3,157 Ba Chuc people from April 18 to April 30, 1978. After 12 days and nights of being occupied by the Pol Pot gang, Ba Chuc was drowned in a sea of blood.

That was the most difficult period for Ba Chuc. All facilities were almost flattened, Ba Chuc was engulfed in mourning and filled with the smell of death. After the massacre, more than 30 diplomatic, press and United Nations delegations arrived to witness with their own eyes the crimes of the Pol Pot gang against the Ba Chuc people. The first tomb was built right after the Southwest border war ended in 1979. At that time, the tomb was built quite simply in a hexagonal shape with the prominent feature being 4 arms holding 4 bloody swords. Blood stabbed straight into the ground, demonstrating the hatred of the Vietnamese people towards the barbaric murderers of Pol Pot. In 2013, the tomb house was rebuilt, which is a complex of buildings about 5 hectares wide, including the tomb house, memorial house, hall and Tam Buu pagoda, Phi Lai. The highlight of the current Ba Chuc Tomb House project is designed in the shape of an upside-down lotus flower, with 8 lotus petals painted white, to reduce scenes of mourning and death. Each lotus petal is where a group of remains are displayed according to different ages and genders such as: 86 women over 60 years old; 155 women between 21 and 40 years old; 88 young women from 16 to 20 years old; 264 children from 3 to 15 years old; 23 men from 16 to 20 years old… Objects such as stakes, awls, knives, hammers... that the Pol Pot army used to torture and kill the people of Ba Chuc, were placed silently in glass cages, but contained the power to denounce terrible crimes. Here, the incense sticks never go out, and there are always people coming to visit and visit. Many people could not hold back their tears of sympathy and sadness for the innocent people. Every year, the collective death anniversary of Ba Chuc victims is held on March 16 (lunar calendar).
